L’Eau Rouge, L’Eau Revitalisante from the new N°1 de Chanel collection Chanel is one of the finest French beauty houses, and has shone within the international luxury scene for many years. Present alongside women for decades, Chanel has managed to embed a simple, refined elegance into its DNA, always demonstrating profound distinction.
Throughout its history, the house of Chanel has never stopped innovating. Committed to providing its customers with exceptional makeup and skincare products, Chanel shows an uncommon visionary spirit. Yet the brand never forgets its origins, and in particular its creator: Coco Chanel. It is therefore to pay tribute to her that Chanel decided to develop a new range of skincare, fragrances and makeup, inspired by Gabrielle Chanel’s favorite flower: the camellia. This is how N°1 de Chanel L’Eau Rouge came to be. Here is our review of it.
Olfastory’s review
An innovative idea, at the crossroads of two worlds
N°1 de Chanel L’Eau Rouge is an innovative product. Indeed, it is neither truly a cosmetic product nor truly a fragrance. It is in fact both at once! N°1 de Chanel L’Eau Rouge can be used on its own, like a standard fragrance. However, it can also be applied all over the body, by spraying, alongside one's fragrance. It releases a captivating, airy scent into the air. Incidentally, it hydrates and nourishes the skin, so as to protect it from the signs of age. N°1 de Chanel L’Eau Rouge is a brilliant illustration of Chanel's visionary spirit and its desire to surprise us.
A product respectful of both the body and the planet
Because women are increasingly mindful of what they consume and the products they apply to their bodies, Chanel decided to design a range of eco-responsible items. N°1 de Chanel L’Eau Rouge fits precisely into this philosophy. It is a treatment that is more respectful of the planet and beneficial for the body. N°1 de Chanel L’Eau Rouge contains up to 97% ingredients of natural origin. It works day after day for well-being while limiting the use of synthetic compounds as much as possible.
The red camellia, the common thread of this product
Finally, N°1 de Chanel L’Eau Rouge is also a product that displays perfect coherence between its initial concept, the visual of its bottle, its cosmetic powers and its scent. Everything about it is inspired by the camellia. Aesthetically, note that the camellia is a flower with red petals. And it is precisely this shade found on its bottle. Olfactorily, the camellia is both fresh and sparkling, while unfolding a soft, delicate scent. Here again, it is from this contrast that perfumer Olivier Polge drew inspiration to create his formula. Then, because the red camellia has numerous cosmetic benefits, it is exactly this revitalizing power that is found in N°1 de Chanel L’Eau Rouge. Every element of this product is therefore considered down to the smallest detail. The alignment is absolutely perfect and the result lives up to all of Chanel's expertise.
